Hello,
This plant definitely looks like it is in the carrot family (Apiaceae). It is hard to identify members of this family down to species without flowers.
I would not eat it personally. While there are members of this family that are edible (carrots, parsley), there are others that are harmful (wild parnsip, poison hemlock).
Sorry I can't be more specific!
